The Devil To Pay

Johnny Cash

          G               Em
1. Go on, girl, take your chances
           A7                             D
   See how long you can go on from man to man
         B7                                 Em
   I can read the lines between your stolen glances
         A                 A7               D
   And I know it's time to fold this losing hand
                 G            D
   'Cause you're drawn to the flame
          G              D
   By the thrill and the shame
          G                  C                 D
   Of the cheating game they taught you how to play
              G          B7            Em        C
   You've got nothing to lose but your soul girl 
              G             D
   And you've still got the devil to pay
   
               D                                         D7           G
R: You've been flying so high you don't know that you're blind to the 
            D      G
   writing- on the wall
   D                  D7
   But someday you'll look down & you'll find you've got no place to fall
            G                 D
   When the bright lights are gone
             G         D
   You'll be standing alone
      G            C              D
   Forsaken in the naked light of day
               G                  B7           Em    C
   Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying 
              G             D
   And you've still got the devil to pay.

2. Join your friends, while you got 'em
   'Cause you know you're getting fewer every day
   You can't wait to let them take you to the bottom
   And I'm getting tired of standing in your way
   But when you hit the ground
   Don't go lookin' around
   For the pieces of the love you threw away
   That's the price of the high life you're livin'
   And you've still got the devil to pay.

R: You've been flying so high you don't know...
